WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and
understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for
more information on electrical requirements.
3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware
and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of
the reach of children.
5 When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the dishwasher, it is the responsibility of the par-
ents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
9 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for
service or discarding.
11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to
the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
13
This dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Dishwasher Setup
Water Softening System
Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and is
equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, the internal system provided is not needed.
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use dishwasher
water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can be set from “H:00” to
“H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (default factory setting). The amount of salt
required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water. See
To change the water softener setting:
1Open the door and press the ON/OFF button.
2 Hold down the A button (see page 6) and press START/RESUME until the
display indicates “H:00”.
3
Release both buttons and press the C button to select the desired setting.
4 Save the selected setting by pressing Start/Resume and close the door.

Dip the test strip into tap water for a second. Shake off
excess water and wait approximately 1 minute before
comparing results.

Salt
Refill the salt container, using the included funnel to pour, right before turning on
the unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents
corrosion. See
1Open the screw cap of the salt container.
Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the first
2
time).
3 Add dishwasher salt until the water is displaced and runs out.
4 Refill with salt as soon as the symbol or “Salt
dent).
Notice:
Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water soften-
ing system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.
Note: Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.

Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent or detergent tabs
.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent
with soft water may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With
soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (
Figure 2
) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and
1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the
detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml (1 tbsp) of
detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your
kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the
amount of detergent recommended in
Table 2
.
To Close:
• Place finger as shown in Figure 3.
• Slide door closed and press down firmly until it clicks.
To Open:
• To open the cover, push the button as shown in Figure 4.
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent contains a rinse aid or drying additive.
Refill rinse aid as soon as the symbol or the “
